Europallets are typed by GS1 Germany

WORLD Europallets according to GS1 Type description. Since 2014 GS1 Germany released the pallet quality classes. These pallet quality classes were developed on the neutral platform through Industry, Trade and Service providers.

The type description defines quality criteria for four-way flat pallets made of wood taking into account logistical and functional aspects. It also defines criteria for the manufacturing process, internal and external monitoring.

The aim of typing is to increase the efficiency of the logistic chain in the participating industries by developing a uniform, mechanically and manually operable pallet system.
